Injen CAI

Injen CAI will be here tomarrow, and was wondering if it comes with any kind of relocating bracket for the coolant overflow bottle?

No it doesn't....and you will find that the instructions that come with it suck...well actually they aren't that bad but they tell you to totally remove the front bumper to put it on! omg...whatever you do, do NOT take off the bumper to put on your intake....go to www.protege5online.com and then into the TECH section and get the install instructions there....you will find them lots easier....and they tell you how to use the stock bracket and relocate it.....piece of cake...should only take you about an hour to do the install.

I won't take the bumper off, and it shouldn't even take that long. I work on cars all day long. I just took my bumper off yesterday to put in my new lights.

I ordered mine from Adventon.com

I cut the bracket that held the coolant bottle and flipped it around to mount it off the same holes. If I can figure out how to post the pictures I'll put them up.

I'm also thinking of getting the INJEN CAI for my '03 P5, but I was wondering if this will affect my warranty.

Also, is there a noticeable improvement on gas mileage?


Side Note: Padanky, why did you change your antenna to the Honda S2000?

Thanks,

D.

you'll probably want to rev the engine more so it will give you woorse mileage if you do that. otherwise it should be the same or better if installed correctly.

and it wont affect your warranty as long as it doesnt directly cause a problem, IE letting debris in that kills the engine

S2000 is real stubby, about 6 inches long. Stock antenna is over a foot long!

S2000 just looks better, works just the same.

I'll take a pic of it in the morning.

Mine came with the relocation brackets, but to be honest with you, they kinda sucked. The overflow tank just kinda "hangs there" attached by the one little bracket and the intake is kinda wobbly too. My old man and I made up some brackets from aluminum that used secured the overflow tank using the open bolt hole that will be left. We also made one for the intake that attached to the MAF since it too had bolt holes open. I *should* have pics up of it today or tomorrow.
